Composite electrically conductive structures

摘要

An electrically conductive structure including a substrate material and graphene. A first cross-section taken along an axial direction of the electrically conductive structure includes a plurality of layers of the substrate material and at least one internal layer of the graphene alternatingly disposed between the plurality of layers of the substrate material. A method of tailoring an amount of graphene in an electrically conductive structure is also included.

1. An electrically conductive structure, comprising:
a substrate arranged in a plurality of strands and formed from a substrate material and at least one graphene layer coated circumferentially on one or more of the strands of the plurality of strands, the graphene layer being a single atom-thick layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal pattern, the substrate and the at least one graphene layer having an axial direction; wherein a first cross-section taken along the axial direction of the substrate and the at least one graphene layer includes:
a plurality of layers of the substrate material; andat least one internal layer of the graphene alternatingly disposed between the plurality of layers of the substrate material.
